The Morning Dig Hosted by Chris Williams
What if five minutes could shift the way you show up for the entire week?
I launched The Morning Dig in 2023 as my first podcast. I wanted to create a space where I could share quick, meaningful thoughts to help you reset, refocus, and keep digging in, especially when life feels heavy or unclear.
Every Monday, I release a short episode centered on leadership, mindset, and personal growth. Some are less than five minutes, some are a little longer, but each one is rooted in real experience and built to help you move into your week with clarity and intention.
This podcast was born out of my own journey through burnout, realignment, and learning how to lead without losing myself. I’m not here to give you all the answers. I’m here to share what I’ve lived, what I’ve learned, and what I’m still working through.
If you’re building something meaningful and trying to stay aligned with what matters, you’re in the right place.
Start your week with purpose, not pressure.

Does Speed Really Kill, or Can It Drive Growth?
Does Speed Kill, or Does It Scale?
Welcome to another episode of The Morning Dig Podcast!
In this ninth episode of Season 4, we’re unpacking the idea of “speed kills”—not in a destructive sense, but in how it can either drive growth or hinder progress, depending on how it’s managed.
Inspired by real-life mentoring experiences and the insights of Dan Martell’s 10-80-10 method, this episode explores how effective delegation and trust in your team can transform your work.
The 10-80-10 method is simple but powerful: You guide the first 10%, let your team handle the next 80%, and then return for the final 10% to add your unique touch. This strategy increases efficiency and ensures that the quality and vision stay intact.
We’ll also draw a fascinating parallel to the world of art. Have you ever heard of Thomas Kinkade? Known for his scaled-up production of paintings, Kinkade used a process similar to the 10-80-10 method to mass-produce art that still carried his personal touch.
His approach allowed him to share his work with the world while maintaining his signature style—an inspiring lesson in trusting your team and focusing on what you do best.
This episode is about more than delegation. It’s about recognizing the balance between speed, trust, and quality to achieve scalable success.
If you’re looking for ways to build trust with your team, scale your efforts, and focus on your strengths, this episode is packed with insights.
